Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. Existing threads will be locked.

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

Similar threads are already restricted to Games and Rounds in the non-altcoin sections, but the giveaway-related post volume is so high in the altcoin sections that I've decided to just ban them entirely here.

I am in a fence now :-(...

Me too.

It would be great to hear an explanation from moderators about this issue because we have for sure something messed up here.

I actually am participating for a very long time in a couple of such giveaways.

Even just now I posted in Krogo giveaway and want to ask: is his giveaway also against the rules Huh

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5202713.0 It is the longest and best giveaway on Bitcointalk.

PS
I think this is not valid because is from 2014 and Theymos talks clearly about giveaways in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections and we are in Games and Rounds board.
